VEGFC

VEGFC, or Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor C, is a crucial protein involved in the regulation of lymphangiogenesis, the formation of lymphatic vessels, and angiogenesis, the formation of blood vessels. As a member of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family, VEGFC plays diverse roles in physiological and pathological processes, including embryonic development, tissue repair, and tumor progression. One of the primary functions of VEGFC is its ability to stimulate the growth and proliferation of lymphatic endothelial cells, promoting the formation and remodeling of lymphatic vessels. VEGFC binds to and activates its receptors, primarily VEGFR-3 (vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3), initiating...
